OMG! It the beginning of New York Fashion week, and British fashion designer, Alexander McQueen has been found dead in his London apartment from an apparent suicide!

The design house has released the following statement:

‘On behalf of Lee McQueen’s family, Alexander McQueen today announces the tragic news that 
Lee McQueen, the founder and designer of the Alexander McQueen brand has been found dead at his home.

‘At this stage it is inappropriate to comment on this tragic news beyond saying that we are devastated and are sharing a sense of shock and grief with Lee’s family.’

The statement continues: ‘Lee’s family has asked for privacy in order to come to terms with this terrible news and we hope the media will respect this.’ [via MarieClaireUK]

McQueen recently designed Sandra Bullock’s dress for the SAG awards, and Lady Gaga’s gold sequined dress and shoes in her Bad Romance video.

How tragic that he thought things were so bad.

More as we find out.
